DRIVING CHANGE THROUGH DATA

Dr. Chris Cate, Vice President of Research, Student Veterans of America

Across the country, cross-sector efforts aim to implement comprehensive community initiatives to improve outcomes not only for individuals, but for the full population. Sophisticated databases are available to help drive our decisions, but how do we measure what works and what doesn’t work?

Higher education generally, and efforts such as NSF INCLUDES, are investing in innovation to promote equitable and inclusive learning and work environments. Wisconsin’s Equity and Inclusion Laboratory designs, conducts, and disseminates research that informs policymakers, practitioners, and concerned citizens on broadening participation.
